For most Americans their home is their most valuable asset. Only about 20% of Americans do anything to protect their home aside from insurance. Why when a home burglary happens every 15 seconds? Homeowners make it so easy.
When the crooks go casing a neighborhood they are looking for homes that looks affluent and places to hide near windows and doors. They want to pick out a home that has no signage about alarms, dogs or security systems. In other words they want no trouble. Fast in, fast out.
A wireless home security system can greatly enhance the security of your home. Relatively easy to install due to their wireless nature, they are also relatively inexpensive. A wireless home security system generally consists of several key components. These include wireless door and/or window transmitters, a wireless passive IR motion detector, and a base unit, which is the “brains” of the system.
The wireless door or windows transmitters are mounted on a door or window and send a signal to the base unit if the door or window is opened. The passive IR motion detector can be mounted in a room or hallway, and is designed to detect motion by sensing body heat. They are also designed to send a signal to the base unit, this time whenever motion is sensed. These passive IR motion sensors are adjustable to prevent false triggering by indoor pets.
